We evaluate the effectiveness of RL in solving robust optimal well control problems using two test cases representing two distinct permeability uncertainty distributions.
Numerical solutions of the governing equations are obtained by using finite volume discretization. The pressure equation is discretized using two point flux approximation method while the saturation equation is discretized using implicit upwind scheme. Readers are referred to [1]} for more details on numerical methodology.
For both cases, the values for model parameters emulate those in the benchmark reservoir simulation case, SPE-10 model 2 [2]}.
